Mazda Replacement Chain Tensioner

In a well appointed Mazda, a high-performance suspension architecture provides a uniquely enjoyable road feel. People who want the most from their cars know that only top quality parts should be used for repairs and maintenance. Improved handling is easier with factory authorized options made to optimize the engine as well as steering components. The car's Mazda Timing Chain Tensioner insures that the timing chain stays in place by keeping tension on the chain so it can't shift out of place. Due to the fact that a vehicle's metal timing chain is always under stress from heat and constant movement, the Mazda Timing Chain Tensioner plays a critical role in keeping the chain locked in place. Many modern vehicles use a timing chain and a Mazda Timing Chain Tensioner to turn the camshaft that in turn operates the motor valves. Symptoms of a failing Mazda Timing Chain Tensioner might include a clatter that can be heard after the car warms up and that changes according to the acceleration of the motor. Because it operates under heavy tension and use, the Mazda Timing Chain Tensioner will eventually have to be serviced, often as soon as twenty thousand miles.

I needed uncommon parts for an older vehicle. Parts Geeks not only had what I wanted, the price was less than one third of retail. I ordered Friday, received shipment on Tuesday. The parts were exact OEM and installed without a hitch. This is a backyard mechanic's dream.
